5 Ways for Villains to Stop Losing!

October 07, 2008 in Top List comments 8

Don't you ever get tired of the goodies always winning in video games? It's like watching the same "feel good" movie over and over again, is it that humans don't like unhappy endings?

What if you're someone who smiles at the thought of all the Jedi killed in Star Wars Episode III? Or when the terrorists manage to blow a place up in Counter Strike: Source?

MashedButtons of Pushing Play has made an article detailing five ways for evil lovers to get their revenge. To summarise the points listed, the things you must do are: Be smart and make intelligent decisions, don't make it easier for the enemy, have a diverse set of allies and get stuck in yourself and have a good go at them!

  1. Health Kits
  2. Send in the bosses first!!
  3. Get SOME Form Of Intelligence on Your Enemy
  4. Hire a consistent architect and construction team
  5. If any of the goons you hire look exactly the same as someone else in your crew FIRE THEM ALL!!

    Lol, too true!!! XD Evil villains fail at losing. They really shouldn't waste time explaining their plans in excruciating detail!

      But that wastes the whole Dramatic feeling to their plans.

    Oh Please >_>

    Look up the Overlord list. Google "Peter's Evil Overlord List".

    100 Main 'evil overlord' tips, plus a bunch of other secondary ones.

    They make sense. Especially if you're used to RPGs and the associated cliches lol XD

    It's not that good always wins. It is that we are always the good guy. It is rare for a game to actually let you play the bad guy. And it is difficult to write a compelling story from the bad guys angle really. I mean most evil overlords sit in a tower and command their minions to take over the earth and kill the good guys. Not a very exciting story angle for a player. Unless you like RTS.

      Well, I liked Overlord on the 360 if nothing else XD

      But my copy screwed up, I couldn't finish it V_V

      I wonder if they have a disk replacement program? Never tried to get it replaced....

        Yea, Overlord was alright. But I never really felt particularly evil unless i decided to go on a rampage and destroy the villagers. I mean you could play the game sort of good.

    Very good tips indeed, reminds me of a article in a Official Playstation Magazine I read. Detailing a criteria for hero's and villains. Entertaining stuff

    Haha, poor villians. Imagine Sephiroth having 99 Phoneix downs and elixirs in his pocket. That would be an epic final fight.
